Remote Code Execution (RCE)

reportlab is a Python library for generating PDFs and graphics.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to insufficient checks in the ‘rl_safe_eval’ function. Attackers can inject malicious code into an HTML file that will later be converted to PDF using software that relies on the ReportLab library. To exploit the vulnerability, the entire malicious code must be executed with eval in a single expression.

Note:

This exploit is possible only if users allow hostile input to be passed into colors - for example if accepting the URL of an HTML page someone else had written, with a generic conversion routine.

How to fix Remote Code Execution (RCE)?

Upgrade reportlab to version 3.6.13 or higher.
